Heavy Rain Walkthrough

Here is a new video of Heavy Rain. Once again this video shows more than you may want to see before its release. Meanwhile we learn interesting elements about the storyline and characters of the game. That could convince some people that this game might be worth a look.

Man I can't wait to watch this game! Seriously though, I love me some old school adventure games, but I also like to control them. From the sound of this game, it is basically just a digital choose your own adventure book. I don't think gamers are shallow and stupid for not being super hyped about this, most of us just like a little more control. Not to mention the fact that the game has you doing menial tasks like baking and snuggling. I doubt many people would be interested in a movie that involved watching people do said things. It could still turn out good, but I am not getting too hyped yet.

Too bad they went on with extreme Dragon's lair escheme, theres no reason to buy it. I'll just wait for someone to upload all the variaion to Youtube HD and I'll watch... pardon, by david cage insanity of lol, new genera, PLAY all the movi... game.

while there is no doubt the game will fail commercially (if mass appeal games like killzone 2 and uncharted 2 can only JUST manage 2 million sold, what hope does a niche game like this have?) i seriously can't wait. my anticipation levels constantly switch between this and god of war 3 in terms of what i'm most excited for this year. but there is no doubt in my mind that i'll be buying this day one.

Posted by 3monthspall i can think of is not more but less iteractive fahrenheit (probably with a more coesive story). I loled into oblivion when the commentor talked about interaction... like theres any.

it seems far more interactive this time around just in terms of the sheer number of things to interact with (some less impactful then others) more so then most games that boast such a feature (aside from shenmue). but far less QTE based (fahrenheit was like a QTE fest by the end of the game), all you ended up doing was those "simon says" QTE action events. it got rediculous. at least here they've toned it down a lot, thanks in-part to the grounded story and not having to escape giant dust mites at your office, and not having to have a full blown dragon ball z fight on the roof of a building.

heavy rain looks to have more scenes akin to those times in fahrenheit when you could just chill out in your appartment and do any number of things, from jamming on your guitar, listening to music, drinking some milk etc. mundane tasks, but it made you connect with the world better then most games try. you felt more in control of your characters actions then any "action" game ever has imo.

for me, heavy rain is taking what made shenmue interesting, be the insane level of interactivity (searching through every draw and every cupboard and being able to pick up the contents of said draws etc) or the storylione, and stripping away the stuff that didnt work or had no reason to be there (like the crappy streets of rage style brawler sections you'd randomly come across throughout the story)

if you dont like these slow, narrative based adventure games, be it shenmue, dreamfall, monkey island, grim fandango, fahrenheit etc, then heavy rain most certainly isnt for you. but thankfully i love them. they're a great change of pace compared to the million modern warfare clones out there, and generally they make you use your brain a lot more then you would bashing a few buttons and making a combo. although those games have their place to. i'm just greatfull i'm an open minded gamer, otherwise i'd have missed out on some truley amazing adventure games.

Sigh, you genuinely seem like a troller. Does using a fucking controller to control your character to explore the environment not count as fucking interaction (I'm also assuming there is an interactive fucking scenario in the game as well ala Fahrenheit)? Heavy Rain is in essence an adventure game and looks to have as much interaction as that in addition to the QTE for action sequences. How is that "lol into oblivion" worthy? Anyway, I'm personally excited for this.

less risks (not like ubi are particualrly great in that regard anyway) and just barrier for them to do their job. (2 Hours ago)

@Moonwalker: it would be a conglomerate and that can be creatively very limiting if they don't fully understand the industry they've just dipped their toe in by buying a major publisher. (2 Hours ago)

Also, for the first time in BioWare's history, they are finally using full facial capture to record the actor's performance. Plus its the first time the Mass Effect team is using the Frostbite engine. (2 Hours ago)

@Moonwalker: well, i'll on a leg and say its a "lie". It seems on par with DA:I, and if they think thats fine for a reveal trailer, then it doesn't bode well for the final product. (2 Hours ago)
